People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

"Fellow Daoist's comprehension is truly terrifying."

Tongtian flashed to Yang Xuan's side, put his arm around his shoulder, and laughed heartily.

"From the day you ascended to heaven, it has been less than a hundred Yuanhui (a unit of time in Chinese mythology). You have already risen from a Mystic Immortal to a Saint, overcoming countless obstacles, attaining the Primordial Dao, and achieving sainthood."
Now you have already entered the Primordial Chaos stage, and throughout the long history of the primordial world, you are the first one since the creation of heaven and earth.

After saying that, the Tongtian Sect Leader touched the Qingping Sword at his waist, and the sword trembled slightly, making a "humming" sound.

The next moment, a wisp of sword energy dissipated and transformed into a small, emerald-green sword the size of a finger, hanging in front of Yang Xuan.

"This is the Qingping Sword Intent, which I now present to you as a congratulatory gift for your attainment of enlightenment."

Yang Xuan looked at the verdant little sword in front of him, feeling the Daoist charm within it, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Although the sword intent of Qingping is not as sharp as that of the Four Swords of Zhuxian, it possesses an invincible and unstoppable saintly Dao essence.

If Yang Xuan could fully comprehend the sword intent within, he could draw inferences from it and gain a better understanding of the Great Dao.

Yang Xuan's situation is different from others, such as Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun, who have completely mastered an existing Great Dao and used it to prove the Primordial Chaos.

Yang Xuan, on the other hand, created a Great Dao from scratch, and then used this Great Dao to prove the Primordial Chaos.

Although the Way of Commerce has become one of the fundamental principles of the primordial world, its influence on the primordial world is no less than that of the principles of cause and effect, destiny, etc.

However, the Way of Commerce differs significantly from the great principles of destiny and cause and effect. These principles, such as destiny and cause and effect, arose with the very beginning of the primordial world.

Its very existence is perfect. Even a sage would find it difficult to perfect these great principles according to his own will.

The Way of Business is different. This great path was created by Yang Xuan based on his own insights, taking the great principles of destiny, space, cause and effect, and many other principles as its foundation, and combining them with the essence of the Way of Business.

Whether the principles of business are perfect depends on Yang Xuan's understanding of them.

Theoretically speaking, for the Way of Commerce to truly reach perfection and the limit that the Primordial Great Dao can achieve, Yang Xuan needs to fully master many Great Daos such as destiny, space, and cause and effect.

Yang Xuan has not yet fully grasped any of these Great Daos. He has only mastered 99% of the Great Dao he understands most deeply, and there is still room for improvement.

As for the other major roads, there is even more room for improvement.

Yang Xuan didn't know how to cultivate after reaching the Hunyuan realm, but he was certain that continuing to comprehend the Great Dao of Space, Destiny, and other related principles, and further perfecting his business acumen, would greatly benefit his Hunyuan cultivation.

The Azure Lotus Sword Intent sent by the Tongtian Sect Leader contains the Daoist essence of a sage.

This can provide considerable assistance to Yang Xuan in comprehending the Great Dao, which is exactly what he needs most.

Yang Xuan didn't engage in any pretense of politeness. After thanking him, he put the item into his sleeve, intending to study and use it later.

Beside him, the Primordial Celestial Venerable turned his mind, and the Nine-Dragon Incense Chariot beneath him tore through the void and disappeared.

Among all the saints, the Nine-Dragon Incense Chariot of Yuanshi Tianzun is the most impressive, which is quite in line with Yuanshi Tianzun's consistent style.

But these are all saints here, so it would be somewhat inappropriate for him to still be sitting on the Nine Dragons Incense Carriage.

After disembarking from the Nine Dragons Incense Carriage, Yuanshi Tianzun approached Yang Xuan, made a sword-finger gesture with his right hand, touched his brow, and drew out a wisp of Jade Purity Qi, which floated in front of Yang Xuan. He smiled and said:
"I have some expertise in weapon crafting. Here are my insights on weapon crafting, as a congratulatory gift for my attainment of enlightenment."

As he spoke, Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze swept over the group of saints around him, revealing a hint of arrogance.

In terms of combat skills, there were quite a few people present who were of similar strength to him, and he was not confident of victory.

But when it comes to crafting weapons, he is undoubtedly number one. Even Nuwa only managed to demonstrate his remarkable skill by borrowing the power of the Qiankun Cauldron.

In terms of crafting artifacts, even Nuwa cannot compare to Yuanshi Tianzun.

Moreover, the weapon-refining manual given by the Primordial Celestial Venerable also contained the essence of the Dao of the Sages.
It can provide considerable help to Yang Xuan in consolidating his cultivation, improving his realm, and comprehending the Great Dao, and it is also something that Yang Xuan needs.

At this moment, Laozi also came up, with Yin and Yang energies surging in front of him, eventually transforming into two fish, one Yin and one Yang, which slowly swam around Qiu Yin.

"The Yin and Yang principles, the wondrous Tai Chi, are all contained within!"

Laozi was even more straightforward. He could see that Yang Xuan's business acumen still had room for improvement, and what he needed most was to gain a deeper understanding of the Great Dao.

His congratulatory gift was simple and direct: a profound understanding of the Dao, imbued with the wisdom of a sage.

As long as Yang Xuan can comprehend these two yin-yang fish, his understanding of Taiyin, Taiyang, and the Taiji Dao will increase accordingly.

Through this inference, he also gained insights into other major paths, making this the most exciting congratulatory gift he has received so far.

After Laozi came Nuwa. With a gentle wave of her sleeve, a wisp of creative power flew out and formed a palm-sized clay doll, which landed in front of Yang Xuan.

"As a sage of humanity, you will greatly promote human morality and bear the heavy responsibility of maintaining the balance among the three realms. This responsibility will fall on your shoulders."
This contains my understanding of the Great Dao of Creation and the propagation of all living beings; I believe it will be of some help to you.

Yang Xuan took the clay doll and thanked him earnestly.

This is far more than just some help; it's a tremendous amount of help.

Although the way of commerce has now become the fundamental principle of the primordial world, its main target audience is still the living beings of the primordial world.

If Yang Xuan wants to enhance the influence of the business world, the best option is to start with the common people of the primordial world.

The clay doll sent by Nuwa contains insights into the Great Dao of Creation. By studying it, Yang Xuan's understanding of the Great Dao of Creation will definitely be greatly enhanced.

Moreover, it also contains insights into the propagation of life, insights that are specific to all living beings in the primordial world.

For other sages, this insight might not be of much use, but for Yang Xuan it was of great value.

After comprehending this, he might gain new insights into how to leverage the power of all living beings in the primordial world to enhance the influence of the business world and perfect it through the power of the primordial universe. This would be of great help to him.

Seeing that the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa had already presented their congratulatory gifts, Jieyin and Zhunti, who were standing to the side, understood what Yang Xuan wanted, which relieved them.

If the Three Pure Ones and the others had given them a spiritual item, then the two of them would have been in an awkward situation.

They've been saints for so many years, they certainly have a lot of good qualities; they're not as miserable as the rumors suggest.
However, there are very few spiritual treasures and spiritual roots that match those of a sage. It is certain that the spiritual items they possess are absolutely incomparable to those of the Three Pure Ones and others.

Fortunately, the Three Pure Ones and others did not offer spiritual objects as gifts, but instead presented their own insights into the Great Dao.

Even though there may be differences in the level of one's spiritual attainment among sages, there is not much difference in their understanding of the Great Dao.

After all, they had all fully mastered a Great Dao, and thus proved themselves to be saints.

When it comes to their understanding of the Great Dao, they are absolutely unquestionable. Then, one of them took out a Bodhi seed from his sleeve, while the other turned his hand and held it up, transforming it into a pure white lotus flower, which slowly flew towards Yang Xuan.

On the Bodhi seed, numerous Dao patterns condense, each one mysterious and unfathomable, containing the insights of the Daoist Zhunti into the Great Dao.

The lotus flower is the same, embodying the Daoist's understanding of the Great Dao.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Yang Xuan did not refuse either, and readily accepted the Bodhi seeds and white lotus.

Both are insights from sages. If one can comprehend them, their help to Yang Xuan in comprehending the Great Dao and perfecting the way of commerce will be no less than the congratulatory gifts sent by the Three Pure Ones and others.

Moreover, if Yang Xuan refuses to accept it, it means that he has no intention of reconciling with the two Western Saints, and that they will be enemies in the future.

It is better to resolve enmity than to create it. As fellow sages of the primordial world, we share the same stance. Unless there is a significant karmic connection, there is truly no need for us to be hostile to each other.

To be honest, there really wasn't much of a causal relationship between Yang Xuan and the two Western Saints.

Apart from being targeted by the Western Sect during the Investiture of the Gods, Yang Xuan did not suffer any losses in the West.

Well... strictly speaking, he didn't suffer any losses during those targeted incidents.

Maitreya intercepted Yang Xuan twice, once having his human seed bag borrowed and the other time having his golden gong borrowed.

Even when the two Western Saints personally intervened, they gained nothing due to the interference of the Styx Daoist, and were instead reprimanded by Houtu and others.

As for what happened next, the Western Sect suffered damage to its Golden Lotus of Creation, and the rise of Buddhism was hindered, with its stronghold being raided.

From this perspective, the one who has always suffered losses has been the Western Religion, while Yang Xuan has always been the one who has benefited.

If we look closely, Buddhism also played a part in his ability to attain enlightenment and achieve the Primordial Chaos Realm.

If the twenty-four heavens had not been created on Mount Sumeru, there would be no subsequent heavenly worlds, and naturally, there would be no Three Realms Network as we know it today.

Since Yang Xuan has never suffered any losses and has even gained a lot of benefits, why would he refuse the two Western Saints' request for peace talks?
Before he became a saint, the two Western saints couldn't do anything to him. Now that he has become a saint, the two Western saints are even more helpless against him. He is destined to take the initiative.

At this moment, Houtu smiled slightly at Yang Xuan, patted the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc beneath her, and a mysterious and extraordinary Daoist aura emanated from it, transforming into a smaller version of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, which came before Yang Xuan.

"This is……"

The two Western Saints and other Heavenly Saints all showed surprise when they looked at the smaller version of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, even Laozi was surprised.

This smaller version of the Six Paths of Reincarnation contains more than just the Daoist principles of the Great Dao of Reincarnation. Comprehending it can enhance one's understanding of the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

Within this lies a portion of the power of reincarnation!

Once Yang Xuan refines it, he will be able to legitimately intervene in the matter of reincarnation and possess a portion of the reincarnation authority.

As long as Houtu does not object, Yang Xuan can even activate the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc to a certain extent. This is a spiritual treasure comparable to a supreme innate treasure, which can greatly enhance even a saint!
More importantly, the deeper meaning behind this matter is that Houtu is telling the Heavenly Sage.

Although Yang Xuan is a saint of the human realm, he is also recognized by the earthly realm and can concurrently serve as a saint of the earthly realm at any time.

If anyone thinks Yang Xuan is a lone wolf and a potential breakthrough, then as her true representative, she will definitely not stand idly by.

This is both a warning to the Heavenly Saints and a warning to the chaotic gods and demons lurking in the primordial world.

"Thank you, ma'am!"

Yang Xuan naturally wouldn't refuse Houtu's kindness. Even though he had become a saint, Houtu was still a powerful figure, and there was no reason not to take advantage of her.

The primordial world wasn't just about fighting and killing; it was about human relationships and worldly wisdom!

How can one improve their spiritual cultivation but abandon worldly relationships?

The business principles he follows emphasize fair trade. The more powerful his backers are, the fairer it is to him. As for whether the other party is fair or not, that depends on their performance.

Yang Xuan looked at the seven items in front of him: a smaller version of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, sword energy, a weapon-refining manual, a Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish, a Creation Clay Doll, a Bodhi seed, and a white lotus, and a smile appeared on his face.

These are all profound insights into the Dao, imbued with the wisdom of sages. For Yang Xuan now, these insights are of great value, saving him the effort of gaining insights over several eons.

Yang Xuan has never had the habit of taking advantage of others for nothing; reciprocity is one of his principles.

After putting away the items in front of him, Yang Xuan gently waved his sleeve, conjuring seven jade tablets.

Just like the congratulatory gifts given by Houtu and others, this jade tablet also contains his insights into the way of business.

For the primordial world, this is a completely new path, and the same is true for the primordial saints.

If they can comprehend it, it will also be helpful to their cultivation, and it would be a good return gift.

In addition, this jade pendant itself is also useful, containing a portion of the permissions of the Three Realms Network.

Simply put, by using the Jade Token, one can create a brand new world on the edge of the world where the Three Realms Platform is located, and connect it to the Three Realms Network.

As long as they follow the rules of the Three Realms Network and possess the authority granted by this jade tablet, they have independent authority over matters related to this world.

Simply put, they can use the world they created to build an independent network based on the Three Realms Network.

Within this network, as long as one does not violate the rules of the Three Realms Network, one can possess absolute autonomy and belong to an exclusive network.

Everyone present was a sage, and without Yang Xuan's introduction, they immediately recognized the function of the jade tablet. They all showed surprise, not expecting Yang Xuan to give it away.

Now that they've come this far, how could they not see that after Yang Xuan becomes a saint, the Three Realms Network and the teleportation network will be the important foundation for Yang Xuan to rule over all races in the prehistoric world?

As long as Yang Xuan holds these two things in his own hands, he will have an absolute and unshakeable rule over all living beings in the prehistoric world.

If used properly, it can not only further deepen the influence of the trade route on the prehistoric world, but also strengthen the authority of humanity.

Currently, humanity only has one sage, Yang Xuan. If he can truly expand humanity to a certain extent...
Then he could become a representative of humanity, just like Hongjun Daozu and Houtu Niangniang!
Unexpectedly, Yang Xuan voluntarily relinquished a portion of the authority over the Three Realms Network to these sages.

Yang Xuan naturally saw through the thoughts of the sages, and with a slight smile, he said nonchalantly:
"Compared to the evolution of the primordial world, personal gains and losses are nothing. If I am not mistaken, the true meaning of this Journey to the West calamity..."

clang--!
Before Yang Xuan could finish speaking, a bell rang out, resounding throughout the heavens and earth, echoing in the ears of all the sages.

The Three Pure Ones, Houtu, and other sages all changed their expressions slightly, their faces becoming serious. Nuwa then explained to Yang Xuan, who looked puzzled:
"This bell tolls from Zixiao Palace; the Dao Ancestor has summoned us to Zixiao Palace to discuss important matters." (End of Chapter)
